Geocache Description:

Long before this was Thompson Park, it was a world class thoroughbred breeding farm and training stable. In 1872, David Dunham Withers began purchasing property and started Brookdale Farm. Answer a few simple questions about the fascinating history of the farm and its horses to solve the puzzle. You will be walking on the former one mile training track on your way to the cache.
